The Phrase Game |
Purpose: To think on your feet Materials: Prepared situations and phrases Instructions: One memeber from each team is given a phrase that she must work into a conversation about a given situation. A minimum of three sentences must be used before the given phrase can be used. The first one to say their phrase wins. Example: Person One's Phrase: "Do you have socks on?" Person Two's Phrase: "I like Corvettes." Person One: Did I see you at the gym today? Person Two: Yeah, I was there. Did you notice the cars parked out front? Person One: No, why do you ask? Person Two: Because didn't I ever tell you that I like Corvettes? Adaptions: Instead of making this a winning game, the two people could work together. Each person gets a phrase. Person one says their phrase and the use that to begin a conversation. They continue the conversation in a sensible and understandable mannor until they work in the second person's phrase. So, they begin with one phrase and end with the other. Remember...the conversation has to make sense!!! |
